Valentine’s Day Craft: Striped Round LOVE Sign

I love a good Valentine’s Day craft and this might be one of my favorites I’ve ever made! Last year I made this painted Valentine’s Day sign and it was a big hit on my mantel so I thought I’d do a little “remix” this year… STRIPES! Stripes make everything cuter, right? I think so too. If you want to make one of these yourself, see the easy steps below!

Valentine’s Day Craft: Striped Painted Round LOVE Sign

STEPS 1,2 & 3: Paint wood round white and allow to dry. Then evenly apply painter’s tape to create stripes. Paint the pink paint and remove the painter’s tape while still wet. Touch up as needed. Allow to dry completely.

STEP 4: Remove backing from stencil, making sure the vinyl remains adhered to the transfer tape.

STEP 5: Carefully place vinyl/transfer tape onto painted wood round. Burnish it down onto wood by rubbing edge of credit card or similar object all over transfer tape. This will help the vinyl stencil adhere well to the surface and help prevent any bleeding of paint later.

STEP 8: Spray paint stencil (and edges of wood, if desired) with gold spray paint. Carefully remove stencil while still partially wet (this prevents any peeling of spray paint when removing stencil). You might need to use small tweezers to remove the small parts of stencil. Allow to dry completely.

**NOTE: If making your own stencil with your Silhouette or Cameo you may not be able to cut your stencil 17″ across. Just make your stencil as large as you can and then use paper or painter’s tape to mask off the rest of your sign when spray painting.

Not too shabby, eh? And not that hard either! Such a fun Valentine’s Day craft that you will love to make! I can’t wait to get the rest of my Valentine’s Day mantel pulled together with this as the focal point!

Happy Crafting!

I am loving your round wood craft ideas! I bought the Hello Sunshine font you used, but I can’t find the lower case “l” you used in love that has the longer tail. Can you tell me where you got that? THANK YOU!

I just purchased the Hello Beautiful font to get the swash, but I can’t get it to open in my Silhouette software. How do I get the swash from my character map to translate to the swash on my file, instead of converting back to the lower case s that the swash is linked to? (does that make sense at all?)
Thanks!

I’m not sure about how to do it in Silhouette software. Maybe send them a note? For my software it is it’s own font called Hello Beautiful Swashes and it’s separate from the regular alphabet font. Sorry I can’t be of more help!

Hey there,
I loved this and pinned it last year. It’s finally that time of year to get it done! I’m curious as to how you got your stencil to be 17″ round. I have a cricut which only allows me to go to 12″. I understand I could use painters tape to cover the excess area but it will be difficult to get a great line around the edge. Do you have a different machine? Thanks in advance!

Hi Kimberly! Yes, I have a large wide format machine that cuts up to 22″ across. I use it for my Etsy shop. Painters tape is a fantastic alternative and I’ve heard that works wonderfully! And yes, it’s just Oracal 631! Let me know if you have any other questions!
